Found another strongman competition to train for.

I will be entering the novice division.  I have confidence in my ability to handle some of the weights in the open, but others would just crush me.  I'm still a little guy in the world of strongman.

Last Man Standing Deadlift: (60) seconds 
Competitors will lift bar from the ground, must wait for down command from
head judge in order for lift to count, legs must be locked, one missed lift and competitor is finished with event, bar will increase in weight until there is a single lifter left, will be using 7' -0" standard Olympic bar. Starting weight is:

You must wait for the down command from the head judge for the lift to count. Elbows and legs locked, and feet together. Each competitor has 60 seconds to get all implements. Keg, Axle, and Log will be pressed overhead with 2 hands, while the dumbbell will be pressed with 1 hand. Straps and belts allowed. (Further rules will be discussed at rule meeting)

The competitor must show stability of holding the stone in place and await the down command from the head judge for the lift to count. You will have 60 sec to get as many reps as possible. 


I thankfully own a majority of the equipment I will need to train with for this event, so things should go well.
